Does a promise to relocate the household include every relative under the official terms?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

No. Identify each intended person and assess eligibility and the separate financial requirements. Current official terms add a US$15,000 processing fee and US$1,000,000 gift for each eligible joining spouse or unmarried child under 21, including corporate cases; confirm individual eligibility and the operative instructions.

Replace the household label with a person list

A corporate relocation clause may have its own scope. The official family framework and each person’s records must still be checked; extended relatives are not automatically included.

Family provisions are stated in terms of people and their relationships, so the documents that matter are civil-status documents rather than anything describing what was purchased. Where an adult child, a partner not legally married, or a relative outside the described categories is involved, ask specifically how the program treats them rather than assuming. Keep their identities, relationships and intended participation accurate; one adult’s changed plan does not itself establish the remaining family members’ outcome. Review each person’s admissibility separately, while recognizing that a problem preventing the principal from qualifying may also affect the family’s proposed route.
